150th ANNIVERSARY OF BUILDING MAGAZINE

That this House congratulates Building magazine on the 150th Anniversary of its publication; notes that its first editor, Joseph Hansom, was also the founder of the Hansom cab; recalls the long and distinguised editorship of George Godwin from 1844 to 1883, during which the magazine played a major part in raising public awareness of architectural standards, including the rebuilding of the Palace of Westminster, and of the need to improve social conditions; welcomes the continuing leadership which the magazine still gives in accurate reporting and informed debate about all matters relating to the construction industry; and wishes it every success for the next 150 years.
